More Jewish defrauding of American taxpayers. Fanatic relgious Jews got themselves into Gaza. Why can't they get themselves out by walking or hitchhiking? What could $1.6 billion tax dollars do for America's poor, hospitals, elderly drug benefits, veterans and the education system? Instead, Jewish Propaganda Bandits steal it in order to ease problems in Israeli society. What has this got to do with America? The Jewish Lobby runs it and is strangling the American taxpayer.

Pro-Israel Lobby Girding For Tough Battle on Aid. Up to $1.6B Sought for Gaza Pullout,

By Ori Nir, Forward, April 16, 2005

"Pro-Israel forces here are gearing up for a possible uphill fight to secure additional American aid to help cover the costs of Jerusalem's disengagement plan. The government of Prime Minister Sharon is asking the Bush administration for two separate aid packages totaling up to $1.6 billion to help defray the costs of the planned Israeli pullout from Gaza and the northern West Bank. First, Israeli officials predict, Jerusalem could end up asking for as much as $600 million to help relocate military installations in Gaza. The second request, which is expected to be larger and more controversial, has not been formally submitted, but was thoroughly discussed Monday during Sharon's visit to President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. According to Israeli sources, this second package would seek as much as $1 billion to help develop areas in the Negev and the Galilee, where Sharon's government is encouraging the evacuated Gaza and West Bank settlers to resettle. The aid would be in addition to the more than $2.6 billion in American assistance that Israel receives annually."
